== History ==
The work originated in 1917.
The original author, Charles Frederic Chapman (1881–1976), was an avid boater, and the editor of Hearst's ''Motor Boating Magazine'' from 1912 to 1968. During World War I, the U.S. Government needed to train men in the Navy, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine to become operators of small boats, including landing craft, utility craft, gigs, patrol craft. Then Assistant U.S. Secretary of the Navy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, commissioned Chapman to write a manual that could be used to help provide that training. Chapman did this in just three days, drawing largely on articles that had appeared in ''Motor Boating Magazine''.
The result was ''Practical Boat Handling'', the first edition of which was published in 1917 with 144 pages, 5 in x 7 in. From this, the book evolved through subsequent editions into ''Piloting, Seamanship & Small Boat Handling''. The book title has now been shortened to ''Chapman Piloting & Seamanship''. Charles Chapman also became one of the original founders of the United States Power Squadrons.
